I primarily use Lightroom and have processed some jpgs with it, dating from the early days before I swapped to saving raw file data. I have installed (not used) Photoshop so "how to" beginner articles are interesting to look at.

Unfortunately the article lost me more or less totally, especially the box under "filter individual channels" which meant not a jot. It seems that if you know enough about photoshop to...

Normally I wouldn't - it is an example of many photos I make which I won't take any further. I can see what I wanted to do, but I did not succeed. No big deal, but ...
Seconds after I took this photo, a car pulled up beside me with the driver demanding to know what I was doing. I told him that I like taking photos in the "blue hour" when the outside light balances with artificial light - I even showed him this image.
You may notice that this is a blank brick...

I know a few of us here use them when the mood takes us (hey, I even got one of my photos published in AP - and haven't shut up about it since...), and they are probably easier to use than that Halina 35X.

But do we really have to have this 'art' on the front cover of the best photography magazine?

[Saturday 4 May 2019: on the cover, the rainbow is straight ahead, whereas the sun is inconveniently around 40° clockwise from the photographer...]

So be it ISO or the older film term ASA, it is the light sensitivity of the recording medium, be that film or ccd sensor etc. that we are interested in.

With film the chemical emulsions used altered the sensitivity and gave variations in texture,...

It makes an interesting contrast to the third paragraph on page 25. The luxury of being able to accept a free 500 mm F 4 lens instead of a free car, presumably because there will still be somebody available to drive him on the 14 hour trip to his favourite photo location. At least he appears to know how to...
